Until he noticed that Chang Suining just leaned close to his shoulder and seemed to sniff lightly.
After a moment, Chang Suining moved his eyes away from his shoulders and looked up at him.
The two of them were very close. When she looked at him like this, Cui Jing's voice became a little uncomfortable: "...What's wrong?"
Chang Suining moved the corners of his mouth slightly, but considering the possibility that the partition wall had ears, he didn't say anything.
She grabbed one of Cui Jing's hands.
Cui Jing was stunned again, but he was caught by her.
In the dim shadow, the girl's hand held his wrist through the sleeve, and the other hand used her index finger to secretly write something on his palm.
Due to martial arts training, the girl also had thin calluses on her fingertips, and now he was scratching his palms covered with more calluses.
Finally, she looked at him with questioning eyes.
Cui Jing was stunned for a moment, then seemed to come back to his senses. His slightly dazed eyes were obviously saying: What did you write?
Chang Suining: "..."
In the past, she and Chang Kuo were both good at writing secret messages with their hands, and she thought Cui Jing should also be good at feeling this.
Cui Jingze didn't know how to explain it to her. He was usually very good at it.
Why not...write it again?
He looked at her and suggested with his eyes.
Chang Suining gave up, let go of his hand, and fixed her eyes on his shoulder again. She just wrote three words on his hand - injured?
She vaguely smelled the smell of blood and wound medicine on his body.
The smell was not obvious. It was only because the two of them were close to each other, the wind was clear, and there was no other scent to cover it. In addition, she was always sensitive to these smells, she could only smell it for a moment or two.
How could Cui Jing not know what she wanted to ask?
He knew it in his heart as early as when she came close to his shoulder.
He really didn't bother to feel what she wrote...but he didn't need her to write in his hand for him to understand what she meant.
He has never been a dull man.
It was only because he was in front of her that he seemed blunt for no reason.
At this moment, Cui Jing once again met the gaze that was more determined than inquiring. Cui Jing nodded slightly imperceptibly.
At this moment, Chang Suining had the answer in her heart about the sound of the mechanism being dismantled and stopped when she walked into the secret passage of the mechanism during the day.
Therefore, at that time, he took the opportunity to resettle the refugees, and after leaving Minghou's sight, where she and everyone else could not see it, he broke through the death formation that could not be stopped once it was started, and destroyed it for her.
Eye-catching.
She couldn't see it at the time, and she didn't know it either.
With his appearance, he probably had no intention of telling her.
But now she knows.
So, he really did know, knew who she was - when she didn't know.
The night was silent, and the four eyes looked at each other in silence.
After a while, Chang Suining said, "Thank you very much."
Out of caution, she did not forget to make up an excuse for her thank you: "Thank you for coming to see me today."
She was not referring to this time, or more than this time.
There was a smile in Cui Jing's eyes: "Why do you and I need to say thank you for such a small thing?"
Hearing these words, Chang Suining also had a smile in his eyes.
She thought she might lose a very good friend.
Now it seems that the friend is still there.
Chang Sui Ning's friends did not disappear because of Li Shang who caused too much trouble.
"Besides, I'm very happy that I came to see you." The young man's tone was slow and serious. Looking at the pair of bright black eyes in the night, he said, "I'm very happy to see you again."
——Nice to see you again.
——Nice to see you again, Your Highness.
Cui Jing repeated it many times in his mind.
However, even if he repeated it thousands of times, he still could not fully describe his state of mind.
This sentence is very shallow, and other words are destined to be shallow as well. No words in this world can probably describe his mood.
Chang Sui Ning Zi is not a dull person. She understands the meaning of Cui Jing's words, but... does the word "Zai" in his mouth mean that "she" has indeed seen him before?
She had once had the feeling that she had seen him somewhere, but she had never been able to remember.
But now is not the time to ask these questions - at this moment, she and he are talking about these scattered words, which are meaningless, meaningless, and interesting, and the passing mice will yawn after a while of squatting and listening.
But they could only continue to scatter: "I still have to thank you, but Governor Cui will be traveling far away, and both Bingzhou and the northern border need Governor Cui. When the Governor returns to Beijing, I will hold a banquet waiting for him."
"Will you prepare wine?" Cui Jing asked.
"Of course." Chang Sui Ning promised solemnly: "But I drink tea."
A smile appeared between Cui Jing's dark eyebrows: "There have always been rules in Xuance's house. Those who don't drink should sit at the same table as A Dian."
Even though Chang Sui Ning was brave enough to drink a thousand cups in the past, he could only compromise with reality now: "...Then I will sit at the same table with A Dian."
The smile on Cui Jing's eyebrows deepened, and when talking about her drinking, he thought of what A Dian once said about her liking to eat chestnuts while drinking on the roof of Xuance Mansion.
He subconsciously raised the hand holding the chestnut and showed it to her: "Speaking of thanking you, didn't you already give me a thank you gift?"
It was just a break in the formation, and a chestnut as a thank you gift was enough for him.
In other words, he never thought about asking her to thank her. He just did what he wanted to do. Rather than helping her, he was following his own heart.
No one needs someone else to thank them after they have done what they want to do.
Chang Suining stared at the chestnut she had just thrown out in Cui Jing's hand, and belatedly realized that this chestnut was probably one of the clues to reveal her identity.
At this time, Cui Jing's voice sounded again: "If you need me to do something in the future, it only takes one chestnut, one chestnut for one thing."
Chang Suining couldn't help but look at him and smiled: "It turns out that just one chestnut can win over Governor Cui."
There was a sense of joking in her words, and she obviously did not take them too seriously, but the young man in front of her was extremely serious, nodding to her and saying: "No matter when, where, or what."
Seeing him like this, Chang Suining became more serious. After a moment, she nodded with a smile: "Okay, it's settled."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, since he gave her a chestnut in exchange for a promise, she should also promise him one.
When faced with sincerity, she can be very decent as a person.
"If Governor Cui needs me to do anything in the future, he can always speak up." Chang Suining added: "No need to tell me."
Cui Jing smiled and said, "You are much more generous than me."
Well, it is said that the former general of the Xuance Army has always been very strong and does not like to lose to others in everything. He is indeed well-deserved.
"It's easy to say." Chang Sui Ning said: "You were the one who treated me generously first, so I should return the favor."
She is not a generous person, just because he deserves it.
Cui Jing looked at her: "...Why does it sound like you and I are fighting?"
Chang Suining thought about it for a moment and realized that it was indeed the same, but she nodded: "It doesn't matter, it's the same truth."
Hostility can be exchanged for hostility, and sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. The same is true for many things in this world.
Cui Jing seemed to be convinced by her and nodded: "Well, it makes sense."
Chang Suining: "Then let me give it a try first."
Cui Jing was confused, what to try?
The next moment, she lowered her head and took out something from the purse tied at the waist of her coat, and handed it to him.
Another chestnut.
After Cui Jing was startled, he raised his hand to take it and asked seriously: "What do you need me to do?"
Chang Suining: "Go back and have a good sleep."
Hearing this "request", Cui Jing looked at her: "Why don't you try something more useful?"
Chang Suining looked at the chestnuts in his hand and asked without answering, "Isn't it easy to use?"
Cui Jing nodded: "It's useful."
Since it is useful, he will leave.
He finally warned: "If you have any need after returning to Beijing, no matter how big or small, you can go to Xuance Mansion with the bronze talisman."
He added: "If something happens to you in the temple these two days, go and find Master Wujue."
Wujue will have all the answers she wants.
Chang Suining understood the meaning of his words and nodded with him: "Okay."
Then, she watched Cui Jing leave.
He has a lot of responsibilities during this trip. Whether it is the governor of Bing Dynasty deliberately hooking up with Xu Zhengye, or the preparation of troops in the northern border to deter Beidi, it is all related to the safety of the great prosperity of the country. All of this depends on him alone at the moment, and he is not allowed to make any mistakes.
Although she has never fought side by side with Cui Jing, she was once him, so her state of mind is similar.
Cui Jing noticed that the eyes behind her were silently following her, so she did not turn around. She just ignored them out of concern so as not to disturb that gaze.
He walked a little slowly, but he didn't dare to go too slowly.
He had received many distant looks, but this time, it was very different.
Cui Jing looked at the two chestnuts in his hand and smiled. He had gained a lot from this trip.
Yuan Xiang, who was waiting not far away, came up to him, followed Cui Jing and walked forward, lowering his voice: "... Grand Governor, you have finally come out. My subordinates thought you were going to stay in there all night. So...
Sent in to find you!"
The Grand Governor was injured today and needed to have his dressing changed at that time. He was almost dying of anxiety when he couldn't wait for someone to come out.
"Well, she asked me to go back and have a good sleep." Cui Jing said warmly.
Yuan Xiang: "?"
she?
Lady Chang?
Oh, the co-author, the Governor, was kicked out by Mrs. Chang.
Therefore, if a special lady drives someone away, the Governor will not know how long he will stay.
Yuan Xiang wanted to sigh, but his eyes were attracted by the things in the hands of his own governor, and he couldn't help but ask: "Grand Governor...where did this come from?"
But for some reason, the moment Yuan Xiang asked the question, he suddenly felt that his governor had been holding it in his hand and looking at it, just waiting for him to ask this question——
Cui Jing: "She gave it to me."
Yuan Xiang: "..."
really.
But after all, he is his own governor, so he still wants to support him: "Why did Mrs. Chang give you chestnuts?"
"One is a thank you gift." Cui Jing explained in detail: "One is for me to go back and rest."
"..." Yuan Xiang's face looked a little strange.
Thank you?
Is it because the Governor of his family is grateful for his adventurous move today?
Although he didn't know the details of the reason, the Grand Governor and Master Wujue needed his cooperation in their actions, so he knew very well what his Grand Governor did today and for whom.
But when his chief governor came out, he was covered in blood, and in the end...he got a chestnut as a thank you gift?
But the governor was very precious and even showed off to him.
Yuan Xiang felt vaguely sad, but he just liked a girl. He had also seen other people's examples and liked her the same way. How could his family's chief governor be like this?
So, the breath that he had been holding for a long time finally came out and he sighed: "I really want to ask you sometimes...didn't Mrs. Chang save your life?"
Cui Jing: "Yes."
Yuan Xiang was stunned: "When did it happen? How come my subordinates don't know!"
In the night, the serious voice of the young man came: "In my previous life."
Yuanxiang: "...?!"
Farewell.
Yuan Xiang was so shocked that he couldn't say another word the whole way.
Shortly after Cui Jing left, after taking care of all the matters, Mingluo returned to the Tiannv Pagoda according to the instructions given by Emperor Shengsheng. He heard the news from a monk that Cui Jing had been here.
